Non-Nashvillians: please spread the word, in case folks don’t grasp the severity of what’s going on. Temporary shelters are at capacity, missing people are unaccounted for, many homes are under water, we’re in a water conservation emergency, much of Nashville’s economic base is threatened by flood damage, etc, etc. We’re going to need help Text ‘REDCROSS’ to 90999 to donate $10 to disaster relief.
Also, Middleten Red Cross

The oil spill in the gulf is so unbelievably disturbing… The loss of life - at first that was saddening - then the spill… the spill they underestimated… the sickness overwhelming the gulf. The loss of marine life - the thought of the loss of the pristine white sands. Now the spill may enter the Mississippi River… it’s entry into the center of the U.S.
Drill Baby Drill? STOP BABY STOP!
If you’re looking for a way to unravel the mystery of finding some good people to follow on Tumblr, one thread to pull on is soupsoup.tumblr.com. Then check the sites that are reblogged. Kind of a one-stop shop for cool stuff.
Spring in Arkansas means tornadoes and rain… it’s a simple fact of existence here. Loss of life has been very minimal this time around - of course it’s unfortunate that there is any loss of life at all - but all the same, better than other other times.
Now the sun shines again. May is here - the lead in to my favorite time of year. Summer. Summer my love. Pools, lakes, beaches, deck parties. It seems I wait the rest of the year for these 3 months. Seaside will see me soon - oil spill be damned - the reservation is made.
Let’s all try to make the most of this season - in our hearts, our minds and our bodies.
